edited June 2015 in Baby Names
Just found out we are expecting another baby girl!!! DD name is Audrey Elizabeth.

Nora
Kathryn
Anna
Amelia
Gracie

Leaning more towards Nora but looking for suggestions for more names. Obviously going more classic than trendy.

    Nora is nice and pairs nicely with Audrey.

    I prefer Catherine

    Anna and Amelia are nice but I personally am not a fan of siblings with same letter names.

    Gracie is to juvenile as a given.  I would vote for Grace. 


    Suggesting:

    Caroline
    Charlotte
    Claire
    Eleanor
    Helen
    Julia
    Jane
    LUcille/Lucy
    Margaret
    Martha
    Olivia
    Rebecca
    Ruth
    Sara
    Victoria

    I think Audrey and Nora is a perfect sibset! I love Nora Catherine, if you don't have a mn picked out yet. I would stay away from the A names. I like Grace, but agree Gracie is too nicknamey/juvenile.

    Suggestions:
    Caroline
    Lilah
    Cara
    Julia/Juliet
    Stella

    I like Nora the best from your list. Audrey and Grace is really nice, but not Gracie.

    You said you want something more classic vs. trendy. Anyone else think Nora is trendy right now? I seem to know several babies named Nora.

    I have had exactly 3 friends who have given birth to a girl in the past year, and all three of them named their daughters Nora. Literally, 100% of the female babies with whom I'm acquainted are named Nora.  So, Nora is a name I just can't with right now, but maybe it isn't so super trendy yet where you are (but just wait, it's coming). I like Celine and Celeste (as a PP suggested) and I also love Anna and Kathryn/Catherine.

    Popular is different than trendy. Sophia and Olivia (and Nora to a lesser extent) are classic names that happen to be popular right now. Aubrey, Mackenzie, and Addison are names that are trendy and will be dated in twenty years (see the Ashleys, Jennifers, and Kellys of the 80s). It is up to the OP to decide if she minds that the name is popular, but it is definitely not trendy, as it has gone up and down in popularity over the years.

    Thanks ladies! I was definitely leaning more towards Nora as I don't want to fall into the all "A" name trap. Also need to stay away from names beginning with M (bc of our last name) and names that end with an s sound (grace, Elise, etc) also due to our last name. I Like some of the suggestions as well (love Caroline) so I thank you.

    My daughters name, Audrey, is actually a quite "popular" name when looking at the top 100 however it is not popular in our area (northeast). I don't believe Nora is either (I know a total of 1 child named Nora and she is 6). Either way as PP stated popularity doesn't matter much to me. Just wanted a more classic and less trendy name.

    Thanks again ladies! Always helpful.

    Haha yes - I do love the name Nora, but of the baby girls I know that were born last year, they were ALL either Nora, or some variant of Ellie. Are you by chance from MN? Nora seems very popular in the Twin Cities area.
